Joint renewal of vows set for Holy Week 2008
Rostered leaders of the Delaware-Maryland Synod ELCA and the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland will renew their vows in what has become an annual worship service. A single service will be held this year at the Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation on Tues., Mar. 18, 2008, at 11 a.m. The Rev. Theodore F. Schneider, bishop emeritus of the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Synod ELCA, will preach. In addition, Delaware-Maryland Synod Bishop H. Gerard "Jerry" Knoche and the Rt. Rev. John Rabb, bishop-in-charge of the Episcopal Diocese, will conduct a healing service and bless charism oil. Participants should bring a container to take oil home for use during the coming year. A fellowship meal will follow the service. Participants do not need to make reservations to attend the service, but reservations for the meal must be made with Pr. Sandra Carlson Alexis by Mar. 11.
